Stretch of trees along Kingsbury Road that have been standing for decades have been chopped down. Brent Council have sent their chainsaw armed henchmen to massacre the trees for the new street pavements. Local residents have said that Brent Council could have left these trees standing with careful pruning and they share a tragic inability to see street trees as an asset rather than a liability. They’re also ignominiously failing to use new tools at their disposal to calculate the real value of trees in Brent.
